Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Awesome! TonyP was talking about this exact same idea awhile back. Monkeys and typewriters eh?The idea has occurred to me as well, as this is how we would measure grains when I workedat a homebrew supply store. The two processes are not dissimilar.
That is sweet, I'm hoping to acquire a little more space in the future and would LOVE to hook up something like this. Thought about covering the flat areas with stainless sheet metal? That laminated particle board is pretty nice though, have a couple tables in the screen area made out of that stuff.
I might settle for batteries in the scale because the extension cord could be an ink magnet.
My only reservation about the idea is I know how tempting it would be for my folks to leave their crap in the path of the roll table.
Still though I think with enough space I would definitely build one similar. Nice job!

Well Brannon.......I don't thinkI ever showed you my table at Image Network but you pretty much nailed it. As you know any exposed lumber will take on pigment so if you want to keep it clean; paint, varnish, or laminate everything.
Also that laminate is good; glass is better for the surface. Maybe down the road?
Well crafted as always. Still thinking about having you build me a stretching table.tp
Brannon.......I just remembered in some spots we used cheap waterproof showerstall composite from Home Depot as a laminant. Wipes clean all day!
Looks great! Thanks for sharing, it's giving me many ideas. Mine will be shorter to save space (space is a premium around here), maybe double shelves for mixing colors, and will have a computer with IMS software and a label printer, love the rolling table and mixer area.
Hey will the rolling table clear the handles of the mixing spatulas?
